The BNP has deferred the nationwide hartal to Tuesday as a day of state mourning will be observed on Monday following the death of Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah.
The party's Senior Joint Secretary General Ruhul Kabir Rizvi came up with the new announcement.
He informed the party's decision through a virtual press briefing on Sunday.
The decision has been taken as Bangladesh has declared a day of state mourning on Monday following the death of Kuwait's Emir Sheikh Nawaf al-Ahmad al-Sabah, said the BNP leader.
Earlier on Saturday, BNP announced a nationwide hartal on Monday to press home their demands for the resignation of the current government and the restoration of a caretaker government.
The opposition parties so far observed blockades in the 11th phase to mount pressure on the Awami League government to quit power and hold the next election under a non-partisan administration.
They also observed a nationwide dawn-to-dusk hartal on October 29 in protest against the attacks on BNP’s grand rally at Naya Paltan that ended amid the incidents of torching vehicles and clashes, leaving three people dead.
